these are very intricate quilts, do you own them? a lot of work and history in them. I love your comments about the rivers, I feel like that about the sea.
sorry you have lost some of your chicks Patsy, hope your new hatchlings do well

The quilts are so special. Can
you image how many little
stitches went into making them.
In the pioneer days, young
girls sat with their little
quilt pieces and praticed. I
am sure their mother's made
them rip out and start over
if the stitches were too big.
